Pipo's Restaurant

This place is a great spot to hit up if you want cheap food that taste yummy. They are ready to help and there's a lot of options! This is a take out place for me as the location isn't my cup of tea for a sit down but the food is great!

Sometimes a hole in the wall restaurant surprises you! What a diamond in the ruff! Delicious, fresh, flavorful Cuban food! Huge portions, nice variety at a good price! The staff are nice and patient. I want to go back and try much more! We had the yellow rice, black beans, and shredded pork and it was yummy! Give it a try if you're in the area!

Was there with a larger work group that picked the restaurant. Before ordering I asked if they had gluten free options, the girl wasn't sure so asked another employee. The other employee seemed to laugh and sarcastically say, "sure". I decided to try the shredded beef w/ beans and rice and hope for the best. It was really good and didn't get glutened. Wish the employees were friendly.

I never apologize for telling the truth; however, PIPOs missed the Marc big time offering up stale Cuban bread to host what could have been a magnificent Cuban sandwich sans the stale bread & dry pork roast. Then they also sent shrimp Ajillo that was filled with who cooks in cleaned shrimp & leaves it in a hot steam tray until rubbery & inedible??!! Mind you I'm a Tampa native with Cubano grandparents & was raised in Ybor, so I know better! Our Teen grandkids says they couldn't put their finger on why the bread tasted as if it had been in a fridge-well kiddos, it's because Alessi & La Segunda doesn't pre-make sandwiches & leave them sitting out until ordered & then & only then dress them. Two stars for the two Cubans! That's it & this really hurt me, as I've been patronizing them for yrs & they are such kind people trying to keep up on a busy street (W Hillsborough)

Ordered take-out two days now. Day 1 they don't know what Chicken and Yellow Rice is. In English or Spanish. Not their fault. Server did not speak English. Today, Spanish Bean Soup. Supposedly. Been eating it for 65 years. I don't know what this was. All in all, tasty. Whatever it was.

Taste...real Cuban!! Like variety of choices...very fresh!!Superb!!!Fresh is very important!!

My all time favorite go to! The very best Authentic Cuban food! My favorite is the picadillo and yellow rice w/green beans and Cuban bread! I also love the ropa vieja! I know they have great sandwiches and roast pork as well as roasted/baked chicken! I could just go on & on but I encourage you to go see what you've been missing! I've been eating there when I can for over 30 years! Love Raymond's family( the owners)! It's a hometown feel and the servers are friendly! They do a great job keeping the food hot and ready and the cafe clean!

Es un restaurant de servicio rapido , comida criolla , la variedad es buena , quizas pueden mejorar mas el entorno y la calidad , pero es el mas barato de Tampa sin duda

Cozy little cafe with great food. The portions are gigantic. You definitely won't go hungry.

A place my family frequents when in Tampa for some fantastically tasteful Cuban soul food. A wonderful family owned restaurant since the last century. Ambiance is similar to what you will see in most Cuban restaurants in Cuba as I have been told.
